I think you've chosen and carried off a beautifully different perspective. It seems to allude to the not-yet-pigeon-holed essence of youth, if that makes sense.
I also love the subtle but very real form of the shirt; beautiful warms and cools, beautiful palette.
Don't be afraid to continue the painting, if you feel that there's more to work on. But don't continue if you don't feel there's anything else to learn from this piece.
I highly recommend a simple, short book that Chris Saper referred to somewhere on this forum. It's called "Art and Fear" by David Bayles & Ted Orland. "The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars."
I find many passages in this painting that soar.
